Abtin Keshavarzian d3608df7d4 [srp-server] process completed update from proxy from taskelt (#9398)
This commit enhances `Srp::Server` to process and commit the completed
`UpdateMetadata` entries (signaled by the "proxy service handler"
calling `HandleServiceUpdateResult()`) from a `Tasklet`. This change
is helpful in the case where the `HandleServiceUpdateResult
()` callback is invoked directly from the "update service handler"
itself. While `Srp::Server` can handle this situation, the change
makes it easier for platform implementations of advertising proxy.

In particular, it addresses an issue with the `otbr` advertising proxy
implementation. This implementation can potentially access an already
freed `Host` object. This can happen because the implementation may
hold on to the `Host` object while iterating over its `Service`
entries as advertising an earlier `Service` of the same `Host` may
fail immediately and invoke the callback directly. This would then
cause the `Host` to be freed by `Srp::Server`.

OpenThread Unit Tests

This page describes how to build and run OpenThread unit tests. It will be helpful for developers to debug failed unit test cases if they got one in CI or to add some new test cases.

Build Simulation

The unit tests cannot be built solely without building the whole project. So first build OpenThread on the simulation platform, which will also build all unit tests:

# Go to the root directory of OpenThread
$ script/cmake-build simulation

List all tests

To see what tests are available in OpenThread:

# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ctest -N

Run the Unit Tests

To run all the unit tests:

# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ctest

To run a specific unit test, for example, ot-test-spinel:

# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ctest -R ot-test-spinel

Update a Test Case

If you are developing a unit test case and have made some changes in the test source file, you will need rebuild the test before running it:

# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ninja <test_name>

This will only build the test and take a short time.

If any changes or fixes were made to the OpenThread code, then you'll need to rebuild the entire project:

# Make sure you are at the simulation build directory (build/simulation)
$ ninja

This will build the updated OpenThread code as well as the test cases.
